Eel tracking
Eel tracking involves monitoring the movements and behaviors of eels, often using electronic devices called tags. Researchers attach these tags to eels, which transmit location data via radio or satellite. This helps scientists understand migration patterns, habitats, and behaviors, aiding in conservation efforts. Tracking can reveal where eels breed, feed, and migrate, providing crucial information to protect their populations and manage sustainable fisheries. The technology is non-invasive and essential for studying elusive or migratory aquatic species like eels.
